All the Urinary infections Not only do they affect the urinary system of us humans, cats can also be affected by these types of infections that make urinating very painful and annoying.
UTIs are caused by bacteria They live in the tube that connects the bladder and where urine flows down, also known as the urethra. Infections can appear in the urethra, bladder, or anywhere else in the urinary tract.
This type of infectionsAlthough cats and dogs can suffer from it, they are much more common in felines, especially in females, who, due to their shorter and wider urethra, experience more frequent episodes of this type of infection.
It is very important to stay alert to the symptoms that this type of urinary tract infection produces, since if not treated in time they can trigger kidney infections or more serious and dangerous complications.
But what are the symptoms of a urinary infection? The symptoms of a urinary tract infection are:
- Difficulty and pain when urinating
- Constantly licking your genitals
- Cloudy or bloody urine
- Urinate little by little, for example urinate gradually
- Loss of appetite and weakness
- Urinate in places where you did not urinate before
If you notice any of these symptoms, or any unusual behavior in your pet, I recommend that you immediately visit your veterinarian to treat your pet.
generally the diagnosis This type of infection is based on the symptoms that the animal presents and its medical history. The first thing that is done on your pet is a urine test to check the presence of bacteria and the number of white and red blood cells there are. In the same way, a blood test and a careful physical examination can be performed.
